Abdulhakeem takes one for the team

Sometimes, every once in a while, or rarely than that, I try to comment on posts like this one. I think its more out of a feeling that I have to say something to protect from being reduced into spontaneous convulsions from sheer irritation. I dont always know what to say, or where to start, and I have no moral feeling of intellectual responsibility to really make a valid point. but i cant just sit there convulsing, so here's what i said to the Vienna gate-keepers:its funny when a new school shoot out happens no one calls it yet another "sudden columbine syndrome" or chronic murder disease, rather they try to understand what may have caused this act of anger. its a little too convenient that sporadic acts of seneless violence are only a real threat when a Muslim (and a convert, no less so it cant be a genetic prone-ness to violence) does it..and what, couldnt he be violent just because he's black? or is that political incorrect in this day and age...? On an unrelated note, did you know that the fastest growing rate of conversions in the U.s is African Americans turning to Islam? Better watch out.

My comment was duly ignored, of course. But really, what is that Vienna siege line?what new phase? what old war? im just so confused.

About Me

I've often struggled with the idea of creating and maintaining a blog. How do you come up with a vision, a tone, a message, a persona, with which you can consistently present yourself and the world to, well, the world. How do you present a voice to change the world in this ever changing world?
Maybe its all irreconcilable. If I do have a place in this ever changing world, then it is precisely an ever changing place.
